True, but if you read most of the news reports (like the one you sourced), they report on inter-tribal violence. Often they ignore whites (e.g., innocent bystanders) in the vendettas.

I'm covered throughout Africa. I agree with Sam that it may not save anyone's life, but it's better than nothing.

After Kufra, I would go to the Egypt border in NE Libya.

What's "the alternative in Egypt"?

The only one I've heard is the TIP, where you put an $800 deposit, which you collect when you leave.
That would be great IF I could enter Egypt from Sudan and exit via Libya (and get my deposit back).
However, in other countries, they want you to enter and exit from the same border post.
That wouldn't work for me, which is why I am considering this Chad-Libya route.

(FYI: You don't need a carnet for Nigeria. I've been there 4 times in the last 2 years and never had a carnet. I got my visa first and go my "Laisser Passer" or TIP.)

András, thanks for the info. Do I get an "Autorisation de Circuler" from N'Djamena or can I get it from a Chad Embassy or from another authority within Chad? I prefer NOT going to N'Djamena.

I want to enter Chad from Sudan and head north to Faya to do Emi Koussi and Libya's tallest peak (Bikku Bitti, which is on the Chad border).

After summitting Bikku Bitti, I'd like to continue north to Libya, either on the western or eastern side. I figured the eastern side is better, but Andras says that route is no longer being used. I never expected any route to get more than 10 cars per year. As long as it's viable and not swarming with terrorists, I'm fine with being lonely in 1000 km.

Chris, I'm not only visiting each country, I'm trying to spend 5 weeks on average in each country AND summitting the tallest peak of each country. So that adds complications.
